Getting up on Saturday is clearly a heroic act (especially if some party was the previous day). Being the early bird has advantages, you can pick up the free cards for some attraction. Today we got some cards for the Monument in the Morning, went then straight to the Thomas Jefferson Monument and the FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) Memorial.
For the rest of the day, we just chilled out and went then on 8.30pm to the Monument. We had a fantastic view over the city. The only downside of the Washington Monument is that you cannot take any reasonable pictures from the tiny windows up there. We tried hard though :)
We couldn't help thinking that the monument looks a little bit like a robot (with two red eyes on each side) surveilling the city. Clearly, SciFi has some influence on the imagination.
